More inevitable primitive accumulation, even more thinly veiled by hypocracy than e.g. the Opium Wars.

The worst thing is that there seem to be people who have been alive during the past 25 years who think this is in any way a good thing.

TIL about the animated film "The Battle of Kerzhenets" by Yuri Norstein that uses stop motion and 14th–16th century frescoes. Pretty cool.

I haven't been working on it myself. It was a master student who just told be earlier this week. I'm not sure whether he already opened one as well. Let me check with him.

Just a random reminder that during the so-called war on terror, 4.5–4.6 million people were directly or indirectly murdered.

I feel like piracy + bandcamp is a better situation for artists than Spotify and co.

Hey Florian, nice work! One quick heads-up: We're also currently benchmarking a few fingerprints for a project and have noticed that the scikit-fingerprints implementation of MAP4 is a bit wonky.

There's few things that I dislike more than hypocrisy and there will be a lot of it in the coming weeks...

I'm slowly starting to look at github alternatives for this and many other reasons. But, as it is so often, I'm being held hostage l. The main issue with other platforms is project discoverability

I don't see closed access as an issue anymore with preprints that can be updated with revised versions. Plus, there were/are other solutions to paywalled articles, while the only solution to exorbitant publication fees of any kind is to stop paying them...

At least their fictitious extreme risks. The actual extreme risks are the destruction of education, the climate, and the lives of those who will pay for tht damage once the bubble pops...

Did they have to distribute the 3 votes or was, for example, None, None, None, or None, None, A, also an option?
